Shopping My Stash #38

These are the products I'm reaching for this week:

bare innocence Cocoa & Shea Butter Cream* (£8 - 100ml) - I was sent this lush body butter to review. It's scented with Jasmine, Orange and Geranium and is perfect to use to uplift and moisturise the body.

Ancienne Ambiance Goddess Rose Water Spray 30ml* - a spray scented with roses which can be used as a toner, a face mist and as a light cleanser.

ila Face Oil for Glowing Radiance* (10ml) a simply wonderful face oil scented with rose. See my reviews here and here. This is one of the nicest facial oils I've ever used. 

ila Day Cream for Glowing Radiance* (20g) - a rich cream which I use either mixed with the face oil or alone.  See my review here. Again, this is one I'd purchase.

Wild Honey Apothecary Strawberry Honey Mud - I received this in my swap from Jen. This is an amazing mask handmade by Kat in Winconsin. It smells exactly like strawberries. Packed full of good things it leaves the skin glowing and radiant. Fuller review to follow.

BECCA Beach Tint in Grapefruit 7ml - a grapefruit scented lip and cheek tint. A really wearable shade. This came in a free gift from SpaceNK this week.

Neal's Yard Bee Lovely Hand Cream (50ml) - this lovely hand cream was a magazine freebie a while back. Super gorgeous, smells of oranges and helps save the bees.

Autumn Beauty Swap - with Jen from Jen's Green Skincare

Kat at Tales of a Pale Face recently organised a Autumn Beauty Swap.  I got paired up with Jen at Jen's Green Skincare.

My parcel arrived yesterday and I simply love the contents which include two brands I've never tried before!  Look how beautifully packaged it is. It made me smile and I'm so happy with everything - thanks Jen.

Here's what I received:

lj's very indulgent organic face oil (30ml) - with rosehip, evening primrose and frankincense oils - a brand I follow on Twitter but I've not tried any of Lisa's products before. Jen also gave me soothing organic handbag handlotion (60ml) this is scented with lavender, rosewood and ylang ylang essential oils - so looking forward to trying both.

A brand I've not tried or heard of before is Wild Honey Apothecary which is made by Kat in Wisconsin, USA.  Jen included Strawberry Honey Mud - which smells good enough to eat!  Looking forward to a pampering session.

Jen also included some lovely Neal's Yard products - Aromatic Foaming Bath (100ml) which smells really relaxing. It includes essential oils of lavender, marjoram and geranium. It is said to help you relax and unwind.

She also included some NY samples - Wild Rose Beauty Balm (love this!) and Rehydrating Rose Facial Polish - which I'm looking forward to trying as well as a pukka gorgeous grey tea bag - Earl Grey with a hint of lavender - huge Earl Grey fan so looking forward to having a brew with my yummy galaxy chocolate.

I'm already a huge fan of Louisa Brown Soap and included is a wedge of Pink Peppermint soap - which also smells good enough to eat!

A final touch was a cute mini lavender bag which smells glorious - hand made with lavender from Lisa's garden.

Thanks so much Jen! I absolutely love my swap goodies. Hope you like yours!
